Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from CHUBASCO Expedition stations

DOI

The cores described in this report were taken on the CHUBASCO Expedition also known as the Acapulco Trench Expedition in October-December 1954 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Spencer F. Baird. A total of 55 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.From 1983 until 1989 NOAA-NCEI compiled the NOAA-MMS Marine Minerals Geochemical Database from journal articles, technical reports and unpublished sources from other institutions. At the time it was the most extended data compilation on ferromanganese deposits world wide. Initially published in a proprietary format incompatible with present day standards it was jointly decided by AWI and NOAA to transcribe this legacy data into PANGAEA. This transfer is augmented by a careful checking of the original sources when available and the encoding of ancillary information (sample description, method of analysis...) not present in the NOAA-MMS database.
